Setting the Automatic “Flip” Feature
Use the automatic (proportional) “flip” feature when you need to track someone who walks directly
under the dome and continues on the other side. You start the flip by moving the tilt control to its
lower limit and holding for a brief period. When the flip engages, the dome automatically rotates
180°. You may then continue to track the person as long as the tilt control stays in its lower limit.
Once the tilt control is released, the dome resumes normal operation.
The dome is initially installed with the automatic flip feature disabled. In this situation, the dome
stops when the tilt down reaches its lower limit.
Changing the Automatic Flip Setting

The maximum possible zoom is 242X. Zoom stop settings define how the zoom function is
partitioned. Depending on the current zoom level, the camera will either stop at the first zoom stop
setting or continue to the maximum zoom setting. The following example explains how zoom stop
settings work.
The default camera settings are 33X for the first zoom stop setting and 88X for the maximum zoom
setting. If the current zoom level is less than 33X, pressing Zoom In continuously causes the zoom to
stop at 33X. If the zoom level is 33X or greater, pressing Zoom In continuously causes the zoom to
stop at the maximum zoom setting of 110X. The second zoom stop remains in effect until the zoom
function is reduced to less than the first zoom stop setting (33X) and the zoom button is released for
one second or longer. To achieve higher zoom levels, change the maximum zoom setting.
2X is the margin of error for the zoom stop settings.
Changing the Zoom Stop Settings
1. Select Pan/Tilt/Zoom/Sync Opts from the Dome Configuration Menu.
2. To change the first zoom stop, continue with step 3. To change the maximum zoom setting,
continue with step 5.
3. Move the highlight bar to 1st Zoom Stop X. Change the setting.
• Select 22 to set the first zoom stop to 22X magnification.
• Select 33 to set the first zoom stop to 33X magnification.
The default setting is 33X.
4. To change the maximum zoom setting, continue with step 5. Otherwise, continue with step 6.
5. Move the highlight bar to the Max Total Zoom X setting. Change the value of the setting.
• The values for the setting are: 44, 66, 88, 110, 132, 154, 176, 198, 220, and 242X
magnification.
The default setting is 88X.

Configuring the Line Lock Setting
Use the Line Lock setting to prevent vertical rolling or adjust the appearance of overlay text on color
monitors.
If you experience problems with vertical video rolling when switching multiple cameras to a single
monitor, enabling the Line Lock setting phase locks the video with the AC power line. All cameras
connected to the same power supply will be synchronized. This synchronization prevents the video
from rolling vertically when cameras are switched.
With the Line Lock disabled, the appearance of text displayed on color monitors may be improved.
However, the video will no longer be phase locked with the AC power line. Video may roll vertically
when switching between cameras.
Changing the Line Lock Setting
1. Select Pan/Tilt/Zoom/Sync Opts from the Dome Configuration Menu.
2. Move the highlight bar to Line Lock. Change the setting.
• Select On to enable the line lock. This phase locks the video with the AC power line to
prevent video rolling.
• Select Off to disable the line lock. This stops the phase lock, but may improve the appearance
of text displayed on color monitors.
The default setting is On.
IMPORTANT
Changing the Line Lock setting is not immediate. The dome must reinitialize
(reset) for the change to take place. When the configuration utility is exited,
the following prompt appears:
DOME MUST RESET TO
CHANGE LINELOCK MODE.

Configuring the Freeze Frame Setting
If you need to maintain a static image when calling automatic functions, such as presets or patterns,
use the Freeze Frame setting. This prevents the display of the dome movement and lens adjustments
from being displayed on-screen while the preset or pattern is being sought.
When the Freeze Frame setting is enabled, the scene currently displayed on the monitor will be
preserved (frozen) on-screen until the pattern or preset is ready for display. The image then switches
smoothly to the new scene. You may want to use this setting if using a digital video recorder.
For example, if the dome is installed in a lobby of a busy building, you may want to program presets
that show different areas in the lobby. Figure 2-1 shows a sample floor plan for the lobby.
Figure 2-1: Lobby Floor Plan
Entry
Security
Office Door
Waiting
Area
Dome
Reception
Desk
Hallway
Elevator
If Freeze Frame is disabled, each time the dome points to a different preset, you will see the dome’s
movement to the new scene, as well as any lens adjustments that are required. For example, if the
dome is currently pointing at Reception Desk, and the preset number assigned to the Entry is selected,
you will see a blur of motion as the dome quickly pans past other areas in the lobby before focusing
on the Entry scene.
If Freeze Frame is enabled, the current scene is displayed on-screen until all dome movement and
lens adjustments are complete. For example, the Reception Desk scene will be frozen on-screen until
the dome completes the movement and lens adjustments necessary to display the selected preset.
When the adjustments are finished, the Entry scene is automatically displayed.

Adjusting White Balance Settings
White balance is normally compensated for by the automatic white balance gain control. In some
lighting conditions, you may need to manually adjust the red and blue settings for optimal viewing.
When Automatic White Balance is enabled, the red and blue setting values are based on feedback
from the camera. When Automatic White Balance is disabled, the camera uses the red and blue
setting values to control the white balance. When Automatic White Balance is first switched from
On to Off, the red and blue values displayed are based on the current feedback from the camera. The
red and blue values range from 0 to 511. Changes occur in increments of 5.
The following chart illustrates the red and blue settings relationship to white balance.

Working with AGC and Open Shutter Settings
The SpeedDome Ultra VII dome provides settings for compensating for low-light scenes in color:
Automatic Gain Control and Open Shutter. Automatic Gain Control (AGC) amplifies the video signal
in scenes with minimal light. Many low-light scenes result in picture noise. As gain is increased, the
picture noise is also amplified.
When AGC is enabled, the camera automatically adjusts the gain setting value. When AGC is
disabled, no gain is applied to the video signal. This may make the video appear darker on the
monitor.
The gain setting for the camera differs from the maximum gain (Max Gain) setting available on the
Camera Functions menu. The Max Gain setting is an upper limit for how much gain can be
increased when AGC is enabled. The trade-off between picture level (brightness) and noise may be
adjusted by setting the Max Gain value. Lower values for Max Gain setting may result in a darker
picture with less noise. Higher values for Max Gain setting may result in a brighter picture with more
noise.
In addition to the AGC settings, you may also adjust the Open Shutter settings to improve dome
performance in low light conditions. For more information, continue with Understanding How
Advanced Shutter Settings Improve Low-Light Performance.
Configuring Camera Features
3–3
Understanding How Advanced Shutter Settings Improve Low-Light Performance
The camera dome supports the ability to view color images from extremely low-light situations. This
feature is called Open Shutter and is only in effect during low-light situations where an image would
not be obtainable otherwise. It does not affect the camera performance in normal or bright light
situations.
When the Open Shutter is enabled and the scene illumination is too low to obtain a clear image at the
normal video rate, the camera collects luminance information from multiple fields. As it does so, the
current video information is retransmitted until new information is available from the camera. Under
these conditions, moving objects will appear blurred, and still images may appear blurred, choppy,
and with more static than video obtained under normal lighting conditions.
The Shutter Limit value sets the video update time in fractions of a second. Depending on the
lighting conditions, the video information may be updated more frequently, but no slower than the
limit set.
Figure 3–1 illustrates a Shutter Limit of 1/4.
Figure 3–1: Graphical view of Shutter Limit settings
Red Light
Red Light
250
msec
Red Light

In this example, the dome receives information about the color of the traffic light. While the light is
red, the image is relatively static. With the shutter limit set to 1/4 second (250 milliseconds), updated
red light information is transmitted at 1/4-second intervals. When the light changes from red to green,
updated light color information becomes available. The dome must now transmit information about
the green light. This update occurs as soon as the green light information is available. This may occur
before the 1/4-second interval elapses. In this example, the light changed to green after 180milliseconds. Thereafter the green light information is transmitted at 1/4-second intervals until new
light color information becomes available.
If the light were to change from red to green halfway through the field integration interval (125
milliseconds), it may appear that both the red and green lights are lit simultaneously. This situation is
illustrated in Figure 3–2.

Adjusting the Shutter Limit sets the update time used to maintain the image quality. If you want to
videotape an incident in low-light conditions, you may find that tape quality is not acceptable. To
ensure that the videotape quality is acceptable for possible prosecution purposes, you may want to test
the Shutter Limit settings under the expected lighting conditions.

Configuring Alarm Actions
IMPORTANT
When operating on Manchester networks, the dome can be programmed to respond to
any of the four available alarm inputs. However, the dome cannot transmit alarm input
states to the host controller. If transmitting the alarm state to the host controller is
required, the alarm device must be wired directly to the host controller.
The dome provides four alarm inputs. By connecting alarm devices—such as smoke alarms, twilight
sensors, or motion sensors—to these inputs, you can enhance the usability of your video surveillance
system. You can further improve your video surveillance by assigning a dome action (a preset or
pattern) to start whenever an alarm input changes from normal to abnormal.
When Set Alarm Actions is selected from Alarms/Areas/Home/Presets/PZ screen, the
following screen appears:

changes.
Alarms can be processed internally by the dome, externally by the controller, or both. You may
choose to send changes in the input state to the host controller. If the changes in input state are sent to
the host controller, the host actions have higher priority than the associated dome actions.
Note: An active internal alarm only resets when the input state changes to “normal.” A
manual reset is not available.

Configuring Normal Input States for Alarms
IMPORTANT
Some controllers allow the normal input states for domes to be specified at the
controller. These controllers include VM96, AD matrices with AD2083-02A code units
or AD168 matrix with the AD168CCM or AD2083-02A code unit. Do not use both the
dome configuration utility and the controller to assign the normal input states. Use only
the dome configuration utility or the controller to assign the normal input states.
The normal input state for an alarm is the state that the device maintains when an alarm is not
occurring. For example, you have a smoke detector connected to a dome input. Under normal
circumstances, the smoke detector should not be detecting smoke. When smoke is detected, the alarm
input changes states (from open to closed) and an alarm is issued.
To configure the normal state for the alarm, select Set Alarm States from the
Alarm/Areas/Home/Presets/PZ screen. The following screen appears:

alarm is triggered. The normal state is used by both internal alarms and controller defined alarms.
IMPORTANT
When operating on Manchester networks, the dome can be programmed to respond to
any of the four available alarm inputs. However, the alarm input states cannot be
transmitted to the host controller. If transmitting the alarm input state to the host

Direction Indicators permit you to understand the approximate pointing position of the dome to an
established reference point. This reference point is called “North” and may correspond to magnetic
north (if it is known) or some other landmark or fixture. When the dome is initially installed, “North”
defaults to a pre-defined position (0° pan/tilt). You may program the “North” position to be any point
along the dome's pan axis (also called azimuth).
For more information about Direction Indicators, see Chapter 5.

end-points of a camera's field of view. Each area is a part of a circular viewing area that extends
around the dome.
For example, Figure 4–1 represents the floor plan of a break room. The room includes a main
entrance, tables with chairs, vending machines, lockers, and an emergency exit. Areas have been
programmed around the fixtures in the room. As shown in this example, areas can be different sizes.

The ending point of one area is the starting point for the next area. The ending point of the last area
cannot go past the starting point of the first area. In this example, the area that includes the vending
machines cannot extend past the starting point of the area that includes the emergency exit. If your
controller supports areas, these are separate from the areas you can program with the dome. You
should not use both the controller and the configuration utility to define areas.
The zoom level also affects how large areas appear. When you zoom in to an area, the area may
appear to be small. When you pan the dome, area boundaries may appear to be close. However, if you
zoom out, the area appears to be larger. When you pan the dome, the area boundaries appear further
apart. With this in mind, it will be easier to establish area boundaries if the zoom level is small than if
the zoom level is large.

Establishing Privacy Zones
Privacy Zones are “masked” sections of the dome’s viewing area. These masks prevent operators of
the surveillance system who do not have access to the dome password from viewing these designated
zones. Each zone has four sides, and the zones may overlap to form irregular shapes. The Privacy
Zones move in relation to the dome pan/tilt position. In addition, the apparent size of the Privacy
Zone adjusts automatically as the zoom level is adjusted. Up to eight Privacy Zones may be
established for a dome.
Privacy Zones are useful for high security areas. For example, you might establish a Privacy Zone
around a safe’s combination. However, you could view people approaching or opening the safe.
When Privacy Zones are active, the dome's firmware automatically disables text transparency. For
additional information about text appearance, see Chapter 5.
In addition, the appearance of the configuration menus changes slightly when Privacy Zones are
active. Both the first and last lines of the menus will appear in enlarged text when Privacy Zones are
active. The menus change to one-sized text if Privacy Zones are hidden or deleted.
To program Privacy Zones, select Privacy Zones from the Alarms/Areas/Home/Presets/ PZ
screen. The following screen appears:

How Privacy Zones are Programmed
Privacy Zones are established by selecting three points on the display image to create a mask. The
fourth point on the Privacy Zone is automatically generated by mirroring the longest axis between the
three selected points. Figure 4–2 illustrates how Privacy Zones are programmed.

The circled arrows represent the target area on the screen for creating the Privacy Zone. Normally,
this target area remains in the center of the screen. Using the Pan/Tilt control moves the target area
by panning or tilting the dome. If the dome reaches its maximum tilt position, the Privacy Zone may
still be established in the upper part of the display. When this occurs, the arrows move relative to the
movement of the Pan/Tilt control until the top of the display area is reached.
The boundary points on the Privacy Zone are selected by pressing Zoom. Once a boundary point is
selected, the arrows “blink” until the target area is moved to a valid area. Once the target moves to a
valid area, the arrows stop blinking. If you move the target more than 90-degrees from a selected
point, the arrows begin to blink again, indicating that the boundary is too large.
If you attempt to establish a boundary point while the arrows are blinking you will receive an error
message: Zone is Too Small or Zone is Too Large. If this happens, you must start programming
from the beginning. Pressing Focus Far returns you to the Privacy Zone programming screen.
If you attempt to program more than eight Privacy Zones, the following message appears:
Maximum Allowed Number of Zones Defined
Pressing Focus Far returns to the Program Privacy Zones screen. To program a new zone, you
must delete at least one of the eight existing Privacy Zones. See Removing or Hiding Privacy Zones
on page 4–14.
IMPORTANT
Areas of the Privacy Zone may be exposed during rapid pan / tilt movements of the
dome. To compensate for this limitation, you may want to program the Privacy Zone to
be 20 to 25% larger than the area you want to mask.
Programming Privacy Zones
1. Select Alarms/Areas/Home/Presets/PZ from the Dome Configuration Menu.
2. Select Privacy Zones.
3. The Program Privacy Zones screen appears. Select Add Privacy Zone.
4. Use the Pan/Tilt control to position the arrows over the boundary point. Press Zoom to create.
5. Repeat step 4 to create boundary points 2 and 3.
Tip: Remember, if the arrows are blinking, you are not in a valid target area. Only
select a point if the arrows are not blinking.
6. After the third boundary point is created, the fourth boundary point is automatically calculated.
The new Privacy Zone appears on the screen. To program additional Privacy Zones, repeat steps
3 through 5. When finished, continue with step 7.

Removing or Hiding Privacy Zones
If you made an error during programming or no longer require Privacy Zones, individual zones or all
Privacy Zones may be deleted. To temporarily remove the Privacy Zones, you may disable their
appearance by changing the Hide All Zones setting to Yes.
To delete individual Privacy Zones, you must adjust the position of the arrows to the area of the
screen where the zone is recognized by the firmware. If multiple Privacy Zones are close together or
overlap, the arrows blink, indicating that the selection is not allowed. Figure 4–4 illustrates Privacy
Zones that are close together.

Programming Presets
If you need to view specific places routinely, you should program presets. A preset is a programmed
video scene with automatic pan, tilt, zoom, focus and iris settings. Once programmed, entering the
number and pressing a button on your controller automatically calls up the preset. In addition, presets
may be assigned to alarm actions or as the “home” position for the dome. As many as 96 presets,
whose positions are saved in the dome’s firmware, may be programmed.
VM96 and AD matrices installed as RS-422 and SensorNet networks support “virtual views.” This
means that the pan, tilt, zoom, focus, and iris settings are stored within the controller, not the dome.
You cannot use the “virtual views” that you define on those systems as the home position or an alarm
action. You must use the presets programmed using this utility.
AD168 matrices with an AD168CCM control code module support Manchester, RS-422, and
SensorNet networks and provide 64 “virtual views.” All other AD matrices support Manchester and
64 dome presets or, using an AD2083-02A code unit, RS-422 networks and provide 16 “virtual
views.”
Setting Presets
Note: When presets are programmed, each preset is assigned a default name. Instructions
for assigning new names appear in Chapter 5.

6. When the Alarms/Areas/Home/Presets/PZ screen appears, select Exit. The Dome
Configuration Menu appears. Continue with What To Do Next on page 4–20.
Establishing Scan Limits
If your controller supports the Quick Set menu function, you can program left and right scan limits to
automate your surveillance activities. Once these scan limits are programmed you can choose to run a
smooth scan, stepped scan, or random scan. When active, the scan repeats until interrupted by a
camera command, preset, pattern, or alarm.
Understanding Scan Limits
Scan Limits are two points around the pan axis that define a surveillance area. When a scan is
activated, the dome pans between the two surveillance points— the left and right scan limits. This
helps to ensure that only useful video is being monitored during the scan.
For example, a dome is mounted off the edge of a building to monitor a parking lot. Part of the
observable area in this situation is a wall. By setting the left and right scan limits to exclude the wall,
only the viewable area of the parking lot is monitored when a scan is active.
Figure 4–6 illustrates the scan limits. The dashed circle represents the domes field of view. The solid
line curve represents the scan area. By setting the left and right scan limits where the building’s wall
becomes visible, you ensure that only useful video of the parking lot is being observed when the scan
is active.

Scan Types
Three types of scans may be activated: smooth scan, stepped scan, and random scan.
A smooth scan slowly pans between the left and right scan limits, starting at the left scan limit. When
the right scan limit is reached, the scan reverses. Figure 4–6 on page 4–18 illustrates the smooth scan.
A stepped scan pans slowly pausing momentarily every 10° between the left and right scan limits.
Once the right scan limit is reached, the scan reverses. Figure 4–7 illustrates the stepped scan. Each
arrowhead represents a 10° step in the scan.

Performance Notes
The following considerations should be made when using the SpeedDome Ultra VII camera dome in
a Manchester environment.
Using Auxiliaries
The dome provides four connections for auxiliaries. When used on a Manchester network, Auxiliaries
1 through 3 are supported. Auxiliary 4 is not supported.
Alarm Inputs
When operating on a Manchester network, the dome can be programmed to respond to any of the four
available alarm inputs. However, the dome cannot transmit alarm input states to the host controller. If
transmitting the alarm input states to the host controller is required, the alarm device must be wired
directly to the host controller.
3
4
Preset information is stored by the dome, not the host.
Additional equipment is required to achieve these numbers.

Software and Documentation. The Software is being licensed for use only on (i) a single computer
(A) owned or leased by Customer and identified in the Equipment Agreement or (B) otherwise
identified in the Documentation as compatible with the Software, or (ii) a back-up machine if and so
long as such computer becomes temporarily inoperable.
3. Term. The term of the license is perpetual, except that it will terminate automatically if Customer
sells or otherwise disposes of the Software or its related equipment or Customer breaches any
provision of this License Agreement or the Equipment Agreement. If the license terminates, SEC will
have the right to take possession of all copies of the Software and Documentation in the possession of
Customer or to require Customer to destroy all such copies and certify such destruction in writing to
SEC.
4. Ownership. Customer agrees and acknowledges that (i) SEC (or its suppliers) is the sole owner of the
Software and Documentation (including all copies thereof, in whatever form or media, delivered to or
made by Customer) and all patent, copyright and other intellectual property rights with respect thereto
and (ii) the Software and Documentation constitute valuable trade secrets, confidential information
and proprietary properties of SEC and its suppliers. Accordingly, Customer agrees that it will have
no rights in the Software or Documentation other than those granted under this License Agreement
and agrees to abide by the restrictions on its use of the Software and Documentation set forth in
Section 5 of this License Agreement.
5. Use and Copies. Customer may use the Software and Documentation only in conjunction with the
other equipment identified in the Equipment Agreement, as part of the access control, closed circuit

Customer will not remove or modify the copyright and other proprietary notices and legends of SEC
and its suppliers contained in the Software and Documentation and will reproduce all such notices
and legends on all copies of the Software made by Customer. Customer may not make copies of the
Documentation, but may obtain additional copies of the Documentation from SEC at its established
rates. Except as permitted above, copying of the Software and Documentation is forbidden.
Customer will not sell, assign, sublicense or transfer this license or sell or otherwise transfer the
Software or Documentation (or any portion thereof) to others. Customer will maintain the Software
and Documentation in confidence and not disclose any data or other information contained in the
Software or Documentation to any party, except for Customer's employees and agents who require
access to the Software for the purposes of Customer's internal business and who use it in accordance
with the terms of this License Agreement. Customer will not use the Software for the provision of
time-sharing services to others. Customer will not modify the Software or decompile, disassemble or
otherwise reverse engineer the Software and will not have the right to create derivative works of the
Software, including, without limitation, translated or localized versions of the Software. Customer
will not export or re-export the Software or the Documentation or any portion thereof without
appropriate United States or foreign governmental licenses.
Customer will implement appropriate measures, such as the requirement that employees and others
permitted access to the Software enter into appropriate non-disclosure agreements, to satisfy its
obligations hereunder and, generally, will treat the Software and Documentation with the same degree
of care and confidentiality which Customer provides for its own confidential information. Customer
acknowledges that it may be held legally responsible for any copyright infringement or trade secret
violation that is caused, in whole or in part, by its failure to abide by the terms of this License
Agreement. Since unauthorized transfer, use or disclosure of the Software and Documentation would
diminish their value to SEC and its suppliers, who would have no adequate remedy at law if
Customer breaches its obligations under this License Agreement, SEC and its suppliers (who are
direct and intended beneficiaries of this License Agreement) will be entitled to injunctive relief, in
addition to such other remedies and relief that would be available to them in the event of such a
breach.
6. Limited Warranty; Limitation of Liability. The provisions of the Equipment Agreement respecting
maintenance and warranty will not apply to the Software or the Documentation, unless specifically
stated otherwise and agreed to in writing by both parties. SEC's sole warranties with respect to the
Software and Documentation are that (i) SEC has title to the Software and Documentation and/or the
right to grant Customer the license set forth in this License Agreement and (ii) the magnetic media on

SEC's sole obligation under this warranty will be to replace any defective media returned to it free of
charge. The period of this warranty will be 12 months from the date of the Equipment Agreement
(the “Warranty Period”).
EXCEPT AS SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION 6, SEC DISCLAIMS ANY WARRANTY,
EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WITH RESPECT TO THE SOFTWARE OR THE DOCUMENTATION
OR THEIR OPERATION OR USE, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY IMPLIED
WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR OF FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR
USE. SOME STATES DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES, SO
THE ABOVE EXCLUSION DOES NOT APPLY IN SUCH STATES. THIS WARRANTY GIVES
YOU SPECIFIC LEGAL RIGHTS, AND YOU MAY ALSO HAVE OTHER RIGHTS THAT
VARY FROM STATE TO STATE.

SpeedDome Ultra VII Operator's Manual
SEC AND ITS SUPPLIERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS AND FRANCHISEES WILL IN NO EVENT
BE LIABLE FOR ANY INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR OTHER DIRECT OR INDIRECT
DAMAGES (FOR LOSS OF BUSINESS INFORMATION OR PROFITS OR OTHERWISE)
SUFFERED BY CUSTOMER, ANY OF ITS EMPLOYEES OR AGENTS OR ANY OTHER
PERSON ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE
THE SOFTWARE OR THE DOCUMENTATION, OR THE MAINTENANCE OR SUPPORT
THEREOF, EVEN IF THEY HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH
DAMAGES. SEC neither assumes nor authorizes any employee, agent or franchisee to assume for
SEC any other liability in connection with the license, use or performance of the Software or
Documentation.
Customer is solely responsible for the selection of the Software to achieve customer’s intended
results, for the conformity of the computer on which the Software is run to SEC’s specifications or
requirements and for the maintenance of such computer in good working order and repair. SEC’s
suppliers do not warrant the Software, assume any liability regarding the use of the Software or
undertake to provide any maintenance, support or information regarding the Software.
7. U.S. Government Restricted Rights. The Software and Documentation are provided with restricted
rights. Use, duplication or disclosure by the U.S. Government is subject to restrictions as set forth in

(g)(3)(i) of Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR) 52.227-14, Alternate III, as applicable.
8. Indemnity. SEC will defend and hold Customer harmless from any claim, action, suit or proceeding
brought against Customer to the extent that it is based on a claim that the use of the Software, as such,
in accordance with this License Agreement and not as a result of the combination thereof with any
other article, computer software or process, constitutes an infringement of any United States patent or
copyright or the violation of any trade secret, if SEC is notified thereof promptly after its
commencement and is given control of the defense thereof and any negotiations for its settlement and
full cooperation by Customer.
SEC will pay all damages and costs awarded against Customer in connection with any such claim,
except that SEC will not be liable for any amounts paid under any compromise or settlement made
without its consent. If the Software is either claimed or held to infringe or violate any patent or
copyright, SEC may, at its sole option and expense, and Customer will permit SEC to, procure for
Customer the right to continue using the Software or modify it so that it becomes non-infringing or
replace it with a non-infringing counterpart. If neither of such alternatives is available on terms
which are reasonable in SEC's judgment, Customer will return all copies of the Software and
Documentation in the possession of Customer to SEC, at SEC's request, and SEC will refund a
reasonable portion of the license fees paid by Customer to SEC. This Section 8 sets forth SEC's
entire liability regarding infringement and the like.

SpeedDome Ultra VII Operator's Manual
SPEEDDOME ULTRA VII GLOSSARY
Alarm Actions
The assigned responses for the dome when inputs change from normal to abnormal
states. The dome may run a Preset, Pattern, or have no assigned action for each of the
four dome inputs. The dome may also send alarm states to the host controller for
processing. See also Input and Normal Input State.
Apple Peel
Pattern
The default pattern of the SpeedDome Ultra VII. This pattern consists of three complete
revolutions starting at the ceiling line and tilting down 30° each revolution.
Areas
Programmed start and end points of the dome's field of view around its pan axis. Each
area is a part of a circular viewing area that extends around the dome. The areas can be
different sizes. Up to 16 areas can be programmed for the dome.
Automatic “Flip”
feature
Allows the dome to automatically turn 180-degrees when the camera tilts to its lower
limit and stays in that position for a brief delay. When the dome flips (rotates), the
camera starts moving upward as long as the tilt control is kept in the down position.
Once the control is released, the tilt control returns to its normal operational mode. The
flip feature is useful when you need to track someone who walks directly beneath the
dome and continues on the other side. This is also referred to as “proportional flip.”
Automatic Gain
Control (AGC)
Allows for the amplification of the video signal in scenes with minimal ambient light.
Many low-light scenes result in picture noise. As gain is increased, the picture noise is
also amplified. When AGC is enabled, the value of the gain setting is based on feedback
from the camera. When AGC is disabled, the camera uses the value set for the manual
gain setting. The trade-off between picture level and noise may be adjusted when AGC
is disabled. See also Open Shutter.
Configuration
Utility
The text overlay menu system used for setting dome features. The utility is accessed
using a keystroke combination. The utility provides settings for camera functions,
zoom, alarms, text display, and password protection.
Direction
Indicators
Provides for the display of the camera dome's pointing direction based on the North
setting. This information appears on the top line of the monitor when the setting is
enabled. In addition, the tilt setting appears on the left side of the monitor. By default,
North is set to 0° Pan/Tilt. This setting may be changed using the Set North Position
setting. See also North Position.
Dome
Information
A Dome Configuration Menu choice that provides essential information about the
SpeedDome Ultra VI camera dome if service is required. When you view this screen,
you can determine the dome type, mnemonic, software version, serial number, and
manufacture date. The information on this screen cannot be modified. See Dome
Statistics.
Dome Statistics
A feature that identifies the operating statistics for the dome. The information displayed
represents either runtime in seconds or number of occurrences. See Dome Information.
Dome Status
Information
Relates to zoom, focus, and iris settings. You may choose to have this information
displayed on the monitor when any of these settings change. If display of status
information is enabled, it appears in the upper left corner of the monitor.
Flip
To automatically rotate the dome 180° from its current pointing position.
See Automatic “Flip” feature.
Freeze Frame
A feature that allows the current image to be maintained on-screen when switching to a
preset or pattern. This function prevents the display of the dome movement and lens
adjustments while the preset or pattern position is sought. Once the preset or pattern is
ready for display, the image switches smoothly to the new scene. See Preset and
Pattern.
Home Position
The default position to which the dome returns after an assigned period of inactivity
passes. The default position may be a Preset, Pattern, or No Action.
Input
A connection point on the dome that enables the system to monitor Input Devices. There
are four inputs available for the dome.
Input Devices
External devices that provide information about the condition of system components
connected to the inputs on the dome. Typical input devices include door contacts,
motion detectors and smoke detectors.
Line Lock
Allows you to phase lock the video with the AC power line. When line lock is enabled,
it prevents vertical video rolling when switching multiple cameras to a single monitor.
If text appears slightly tinted on color monitors, disabling the line lock may prevent this
problem.
Name
Information
Relates to the display the dome name, the area where the dome is pointing, the name of
the preset or pattern that is running, and alarm names. The display of each type of name
setting can be enabled or disabled. When the display of camera or area names is
enabled, the information appears on the screen continuously. Preset, pattern, and alarm
names appear only while they are active.
Normal Input
State
Describes the expected state of a device connected to one of four dome inputs. The
normal state may be open or closed. When a device is not in its normal input state, an
alarm is issued. Transmitting the dome input states to the host controller is not
supported with Manchester.
North Position
User-definable setting that may correspond to magnetic north or some well-known
landmark. Used to approximate the camera dome's pointing direction when Direction
Indicators are enabled.
Open Shutter
Setting used to improve the quality of video obtained in extreme low-light situations.
When the Open Shutter setting is enabled, low-light information is collected over
multiple fields based on the Shutter Limit setting. As a result, video may appear blurred
or choppy in extreme low-light situations. This setting does not effect camera operation
in normal lighting situations. See also Automatic Gain Control (AGC).
Password
Protection
Prevents unauthorized users from starting the Configuration Utility. The password may
be from 1 to 8 characters long.
Pattern
A series of pan, tilt, zoom and focus movements from a single programmable dome. Up
to 3 patterns may be programmed for the dome.
Peel
Button found on some controllers that initiates the Apple Peel pattern.
See Apple Peel Pattern.
Preset
Programmed video scene, based on a specific pan, tilt, zoom, and focus settings. Up to
96 presets may be programmed for the dome. For domes running in a Manchester
network, only 64 presets may be programmed. See also Virtual Views.
Glossary-2
SpeedDome Ultra VII Operator's Manual
Privacy Zones
Masked areas of the camera dome's viewing area. These masks prevent operators of the
surveillance system from viewing these designated zones. Each Privacy Zone has four
sides, and the zones may overlap to form irregular shapes. The Privacy Zones move in
relation to the dome pan/tilt position. In addition, the apparent size of the Privacy Zone
adjusts automatically as the lens zooms in or out. Up to eight Privacy Zones may be
established for a camera dome.
Quick Set Menu
A special menu that provides access to commonly used features and functions when
used with compatible controllers. This allows for changing or activating features
without starting the dome configuration menu.
Random Scan
An automated scan that pans randomly between the left and right scan limits, starting at
any point between the scan limits. See Smooth Scan and Stepped Scan.
Scan
Automated surveillance between predefined scan limits. Three types of scans are
available: smooth scan, stepped scan, and random scan. See Smooth Scan, Stepped
Scan, and Random Scan.
Scan Limits
Two points around the dome’s pan axis, which define a surveillance area.
Shutter Limit
Setting used to define the maximum exposure time for the Open Shutter setting. The
values for the setting range from 1/2 to 1/60 for NTSC, and 2/3 to 1/50 for PAL. The
default setting is 1/4 for NTSC and 1/3 for PAL.
Smooth Scan
An automated scan that slowly pans between the left and right scan limits, starting at
the left scan limit. When the right scan limit is reached, the scan reverses. See Stepped
Scan and Random Scan.
Stepped Scan
An automated scan that pans slowly pausing momentarily every 10° between the left
and right scan limits. Once the right scan limit is reached, the scan reverses. See
Smooth Scan and Random Scan.
Virtual Views
Similar to Preset. However, virtual views store the pan, tilt, zoom, focus, and iris
settings within the controller, not the dome. Virtual Views cannot be used for the Home
Position or Alarm Actions.
White balance
Adjustments in the color hue (red and blue) gains for a camera so that true white
appears white in the image. It is normally compensated for by the automatic gain
control. In some lighting conditions, you may need to manually adjust the red and blue
settings for optimal viewing. When Automatic White Balance is enabled, the camera
measures the image and automatically adjusts the red and blue settings to balance white.
When Automatic White Balance is disabled, the camera uses the values set for the red
and blue settings to balance white.
Zoom
To adjust the magnification of the camera lens to make an object appear closer (larger)
or farther away (smaller). See also Zoom stop factors.
Zoom stop
factors
Defines how the zoom function is partitioned. The first zoom stop setting may be 22X
or 33X. The default first zoom stop setting is 33X. The maximum zoom stop setting
may be 44, 66, 88, 110, 132, 154, 176, 198, 220, or 242X. The default maximum zoom
stop setting is 88X.
